Personal Block List for players.

As a level 182 with a Titan badge, I can't say much on global without being absolutely swamped with friend requests by genuine intellectual inferiors that don't take no for an answer. I absolutely love the simple add friend feature, but having to reject a friend request (there's one mouth breather in particular that inspires this post) every 2-4 hours, 6-12 times a day is just not acceptable. This feature needs more versatility.

Everyone is worried about protecting kids on this game from seeing "bad words" or "taboo topics"; these same kids are the biggest problem with the game, and have zero to minimal social skills, etiquette, or understanding. Someone should NOT have the ability to send endless friend requests after having it rejected literally 40+ times. Nobody will ever understand the amount of restraint I've had to use while writing this, either. I'm ready to throw my phone at a brick wall.

Do something about it because I am sick of the pointless spam notifications from obsessed kids. It's a good feature that should be used legitimately, and we should have the power to be able to protect ourselves from spam garbage. If you can put time into setting up the worst censorship moderation imaginable for global chats, I'm sure you can do something about this.

Thanks.

I 100% agree dude! I'm in Lengends at the moment (5500) and I'm staying in the clouds for hours at a time. I like global but I have 4-5 kids that send me friend requests 10-15 times a day. I know the easiest solution is to just ignore them them and not reject, but I cannot have a red notification constantly showing. It bugs me as much as the kids that constantly send request. They constantly try to request to join the clan with broken English and always a war timer. Any clan worth anything doesn't allow anyone in that still is in prep day with some clan to join them. I have the issue that whenever someone request to join I get friend request from them even when I'm not the one rejecting. I wake up hop on clash to see the damage of trophies lost through the night and I always have at least one friend request and it's from someone that tried to join while I was asleep. To me it's the most needed feature right now.

Other clan members didnt didn't understand what I was really going through until they themselves made it into titans league. I really hope they add something in this next big update. Playing for over 4 years now and have no plans to stop now. It's a much needed improvement

Cooldown for repeating rejected friend requests is definitely a good idea. I suggest three days, doubling with every repeat rejection.

I like the idea of doubling them time with every rejection a player gets from you. But seems like it would be harder to implement, would be more code and have a greater chance of having a glitch.

Even I could show them how to code an iteratively doubling cooldown.

Awesome feedback, thanks fellas.

This is one aspect of the game that really genuinely needs a fix so I don't want to smash my phone every time I log in to see the same friend request from "Prince K".

I'm moving up to legends now slowly (TH10 life lol) so I can only imagine that when that happens, the badge will only attract more annoyance. I used to enjoy going onto global and giving tips out to any noobs that asked. I can't do this anymore though, because if you give them an inch, they will take a mile.

Not against this as a solution, would probably work OK

Did you know though there is a cap on Friends you can have
I have 100+ who I added (from my clan, and randoms from global)

Now noobs can't invite me
(p.s. noobs find this very frustrating! :))

I didn't know that, but was wondering.

When you de-friend someone, is it easy for them to notice?
I have a few random friends, hopper kids who we stopped letting back in. I did notice that by accepting them, I stopped getting friend requests from them.

No
I don't think they can tell

Because my friend list is usually full, when someone de-friends me it is easy to tell.
I never know who it was...

It is easy for them to tell when they're level 60-80, only have other level 60-80 friends who aren't exactly setting the world on fire with trophy counts, then the only titan/legend badged friend they have added suddenly disappears from that list.

And yes, I am aware of the friends list cap; should I honestly have to prevent myself from being able to add new friends just because stupid kids can't control themselves? It's just a joke.

I avoid friend requests from intellectual inferiors by being the one that is intellectually inferior. I learned this trick from Homer Simpson. Works great!

i agree there are a lot of guys out there that just get rude with it. Personally I would be happy to be able to just turn off my friends feature. I look outward for my social life, to me COC is just a game that serves me well as an amusrment/distraction during down times.

So what you are saying is all I need to do is make 99 more accounts, friend myself on them all, then I am free?

Back in a few weeks.


Edit - 100 more, cannot friend myself.

This isn't about real life social relationships or why you play the game...this is about being able to interact with other players from all over the globe, in game, without 8 year olds ruining that.

If any of you can't understand how/why this is an actual issue, just leave the thread alone, honestly. "Adding people" on CoC has nothing to do with real life relationships. This entire sub-forum is about improvement of in game features.
